Rifle Scopes Hunting scope recommendation for a 6.5 prc rifle?

Ive had a similar thought. Weight is weight but training and some gym time can fix a lot of that.

Yup! Over the last several months, I’ve been eating right, working out, and have lost about 15 lbs in preparation for hunting season??

Took a black bear at 25 yards and wish I had a 2.5x starting magnification range scope

Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18x44. Very compact, durable scope. Very light as well. I have a nightforce ATACR on a 338 Lapua that I hunt with. I love the gun, but it is an overall ‘big’ stick to carry around with a scope that size. I have a Seekins 6.5 PRC in order and have purchased a Mark 5 3.6-18. Should make a fairly compact package. My only wish is that the Seekins was offered in a 22” or 20” barrel as well!

My new rifle is a sequins as well. I think its a gorgeous rifle.

Its amazing what some training will do.

Next question is mil vs Moa? Most of my optics have been MOA (just put a Burris on my VEPR). My initial thoughts are to go with a mil but my understanding is that both are good if you understand the math and invest in some range time.

They both do the same thing, just take the time to learn how they both work and understand the differences.

If you are happy with either then just pick what ever scope/reticle fits your requirements and you'll be fine.

I ran moa for a-lot of years and wanted to try mils and Im happy I did.I find it easier to work with mils but Im happy I have a working understanding of both moa and mils.

I put a Bushnell LRTS 3-12 on my hunting rifle recently and I'm really liking it so far. I think the G3 reticle is going to be perfect for hunting.

At this point I think vortex is out of the running. Currently my new options are Leupold Mk5 3.6-18 and 5-25, Leupold Vx3i LRP 6.5-20, Nightforce SHV 5-20x, Nightforce NXS 5.5-20x and maybe the Bushnell Forge 4.5-27 and XRS II 4.5-30. Ive looked briefly into other brands such as Burris, Sig and Riton but they either don't make an optic with a reticle I like or I have not heard great things about them.
